True.
I think I had my angry Arsenal head on earlier ;)
When you beat the *mighty* Birmingham city and Alavés in the finals I can assure you they are my friend.
They are when Mourinho wins them!
Haha
That is true ;) He sure has some 'eritage'
I’m fully aware of what a dickhead Mourinho can be, but let’s not forget he simply commented that United had won “three trophies”. By comparison, Liverpool had an open top bus tour with a ‘Treble Winners’ banner. I still cringe now. Embarrassing.
Mourinho should do as other footballers, and launch a line fragrances: «Is 'eritage - by José Mourinho!»
:))
Maybe the voters punished him for the Hand of god goal ?
1986

2nd England Gary Lineker Spain Barcelona 62
3rd Spain Emilio Butragueño Spain Real Madrid 59
You would have been ecstatic to win a UEFA back in those pre 1992 days when Barca were nonentities in Europe.
Lest we forget you are very much arrivistes at the European top table when compared with the of likes Real, Bayern and Milan. It was only in 2009 you managed to overtake Forest FFS!
Pretty much all of Barca's European royalty status has been built on Messi, Xavi, Iniesta et al. If Chelsea had had a better crop of youth talent then they could have easily been in your place.
That's ridiculous. In 86 there was one player who was head and shoulders the best on the planet.
I doubt anyone gave the slightest toss about the Hand of God as a) to you're average greasy foreigner that was just 'clever play' and b) everyone despises England anyway.
Hope for Salah this season though as you clearly don't actually need to be the best player in the world to win the balon d'or.
And that is relevant to the discussion because of... what exactly? Based on past comments I think you are the first to admit the Balon d'Or should not be given based on performances in the FA Cup or the UEFA Cup? That is what's being discussed here.
No wonder why you are so obsessed with the phenomenon 'European Royalty' (a term I have never heard been mentioned before in association with football) when past history (and Mo Salah...) is the only thing a Liverpool fan can be proud of these days. Liverpool's European trophy cabinet is basically built on one era of dominance. This is also mainly The case with Milan and even Bayern, although their succeses have been more consistent. The fact that such an era happened to occur more recently with Barcelona, doesn't really make a huge difference, does it? Even in terms of Real Madrid, half of their European record stem from a spekk in the 50s/60s when the competition was contested by roughly 8 teams or something?
A perhaps better way of looking at a teams consistent achievements is looking at domestic league titles (which are rated far higher than domestic cups). Here Barcelona has consistently won leagues all through the 20th century. In fact far more in total than Liverpool and even Milan.
a. I wasn’t around in 86 (pity since it was Belgium’s best WC), but I think unsportsmanlike conduct, which an allowed handball goal definitely is, is scandalous no matter how fabulous the player otherwise is. Nevertheless, Maradona would have deserved the Ballon that year. Taking nothing away from Belanov of course, Dynamo Kiev was one of Europe strongest sides in those days and together with Blokhin he was an integraal part of that. The USSR squad was more a Ukrainian than a Russia side in those days.
b. I symphatize easily with any country from the Old Continent, including England. But not against Belgium, of course.
Rubbish...that was skill,straight out of the Jose Mourinho school of defending and bus parking,so how dare you !!
I’m not sure I remember a Utd game quite like it. It was almost comical by the second half of extra time. We battered you more consistently than we did when we put 8 past you.
Jack Wilshere ruled out of tonights friendly against the Dutch,due to a knee injury in training.
Are you @001 in disguise? To dismiss the team of Di Stefano and Puskas so lightly is frankly embarrassing. We know you have a chronic Barca bias but Jesus a bit of respect please.
Except if you go down that route you end up with Celtic and Olympiakos as European royalty.
True that Dynamo Kiev side was a class act but to deny Maradona that year of all years seems, even for an Englishman, to be a travesty. To have Lineker ahead of him, much as I love Gary (when he's not spouting his lefty views on Twitter), is pretty laughable.
Much as I found it hilarious to see Utd denied (and by the most flagrant example of parking the bus ever - even Greece had the ambition to nick a goal from a corner) you have to say that result was scandalous. Even Elizabeth Fritzl working as a pundit for ORF1 stated 'Arsenal were raped off the park'.
Boring match so far. A bit back and forth, without many chances.

That's better! Kamara makes it 1-1 after brilliant work from Elyounoussi leading up to the goal.
_____
Brilliant header from Reginiussen makes it 2-1!
_____
That's a good effort by Henriksen, putting Kamara through on goal, and it's 3-1. Nice!
_____
Kamara makes it 4-1 in added time! When was the last time Norway scored four goals in one game? Much needed result for Lagerbäck & Co, this.
Familiar names for those who follows the PL, at least - both on the pitch and on the bench. Will be interesting to see what Koeman can do for the Netherlands national team.
What are the options in midfield for England, you think? Other than the players in this squad, that is.
Limited we really don't have any great centre midfield players currently
I am glad I am reading a good book and did order the Hardcover Colonel Sun.
That's true, I guess. Tried to think of some English CM players not in this squad, but could only name foreign players…
Should have read a book instead, too. Oh well, 45 mins to go. Hope the second half will be more interesting.
